Shrinking and Disappearing - Praise God

Granny has been taking chemotherapy, and on March 23rd she had a CT scan to see if the chemo was helping shrink the tumors. The doctor reported to her that the tumors are shrinking drastically, and some of them are gone only leaving behind a scar! We give all of the praise to God! We love Granny and want her to be back to normal soon. With Spring approaching she would love to be out working in her yards. I hope that she'll be able to do that this season. Of course, she's got someone that does the hard work, the mowing and edging, but I would love to see her able to plant flowers and take care of her roses like she loves to do so much.

On another note, when the storm came through last week and the schools closed at 1:00, I took the kids to stay with Granny. She was feeling good and wanted them to visit. I took a few movies over there so they would be occupied. Granny spends a lot of time in bed so she's got a t.v. and dvd player in her room. Before I left I put on a movie and made sure everyone was good to go. When I returned they were all still laying in the bed watching t.v., so I climbed in!

Welcome My Little Brother - Kolton Gage Turvin

On February 25, 2009 my family welcomed my little brother into the world. He is so sweet and precious.

My boys don't really understand how they have an uncle that's younger than them. When I told Rylan that he was his uncle he said, "Ya, if he was like 25 or something."

Daddy, Amanda, and Kolton came to visit us on March 28th, so Kolton was a month old. We couldn't believe how much he had grown. He is now 11 lbs. Rylan and Kaden both enjoyed the company.



But Kaden was a little more "stand-off-ish". He didn't really want to help feed him or hold him much. But Rylan did. He took the baby, laid him in his lap, fed him, and watched Kungfu Panda!



My daddy and Amanda are so blessed to have this little baby in their lives. He's happy and healthy and loved, especially by his Big Sister!

The Boys' First Helicopter Ride (3/21/09)

The boys had their first helicopter ride at Ft. Rucker on Saturday. I was actually going to ride with them, until I got up to the gate and realized that the helicopter didn't have doors, so I chickened out & let Robert ride instead. After they paid to ride we waited in line for about 2 hours.




We watched several helicopters take off and land, so I decided that it didn't look that scary, but by then Robert was excited and wouldn't let me ride in his place. So I watched as my 3 boys, Robert, Rylan, and Kaden, flew off in a helicopter.



And I was so thankful when they landed! They had a great time & Robert said I would not have liked the ride b/c the pilot made the helicopter go in reverse & take a nose dive! No, I wouldn't have liked that!! But the boys loved it!

Enuff Said
